"Headquarters, headquarters, there's a situation here."
"Headquarters received. What's the situation?"
"I saw a fish coming out of the endless star sea."
"…Are you joking?"
"No."
The astronaut spoke, watching as a gigantic orca swam past.
"Correction. It's not a fish; it should be some kind of marine mammal."
"…I understand." After a moment of silence, the operator from headquarters said, "I'll send a spaceship to bring you back to the ground."
"Damn it! You don't think I'm crazy, do you?"
"Am I the one who's crazy!" the operator retorted, "Do you think anyone would believe your nonsense?"
"Damn it, doesn't the space station have surveillance? Look at the exterior monitor! It just swam past!" the astronaut cursed.
The operator seemed to have gone to check the surveillance.
After a few minutes, there was still no sound from the other side.
The astronaut watched the orca's form disappear into the distance, and asked again, "So, did you see it? Was it just my imagination?"
